Making TOWING power without boxes/tuners...

HOV, there's nothing better than getting more power and better fuel mileage. That's what you will get by just changing the turbo and injectors. It's safer than a fueling box and you will get better mileage as long as you don't get huge tips. I had the 40hp Flux1s on my 03 and saw a 1 mpg increase immediately. The additional power was from idle up so it doesn't wait till you are building boost then violently make the power like some of these boxes do.
I guess I am saying that I disagree with you.....
On the other hand, injectors and turbos aren't cheap.....

On modern vehicles, any physical modification should have a corresponding modification in engine management.
Doing physical mods only was a fine way of doing business back in the 1970's, when engines didn't rely on computers to monitor and run everything. Now, anytime a physical mod is done, it changes the parameters of operation and can actually make the engine run less efficiently if the engine management isn't changed to match the physical mod.
Exhaust and final drive gearing are potential options that wouldn't cause much havoc. Smaller wheels and tires and lower gearing for more final drive torque? Lose the muffler?
IMHO, changing the turbo and injectors without modifying engine management for the changes is dangerous, expensive, and inefficient.
